About UsThe Imaginarium is an initiative unique to Perth College, catering specifically for gifted girls of very high ability. Through a strengths-based lens, minds expand and soar. Innovation, curiosity and creativity are encouraged whilst social and emotional capabilities are supported and enhanced. Courses develop participants through a holistic approach, developing gifted girls’ intellectual, social, emotional and vocational domains. These transformative experiences enhance their lives well beyond each course they attend.

Imaginarium courses are open to gifted girls who attend any school in Western Australia.
